Filed under: A Hunger for God
As you may be able to tell from my new header, I am entering a new season. Not a more depressed, self-depreciating time in life–rather a healthy view of
my self and of God, the kind that allows my “somewhat stony heart” to become soft and malleable again.
As I journey through BSH with my small group, I am reminded of a ratio.
The ratio is 10:1. It’s the ratio of things I know in my mind : ways I live.
In this “new season” I’m asking to speak honestly with Christ (as my bridegroom) before all others regarding the dearest things in my heart. I may write a lot less. I’m definitely not going to promise more…
The “new” idea is to be faithful to Christ and run to him to baptize my mind and heart before I allow everything/-one else to mold my thinking. I think it should be good… it may even result in a somewhat softer heart!

Love this. And thankful for the challenge of stepping back and remembering that in fact, God is easier to be found than we think, if we just pursue a bit more. Or just, a bit. A rephrased niblet from “Just Do Something” that I’m excited about.
Love your openness about not being so open. 
Comment by Lindsey May 31, 2009 @ 7:57 PMIts a good approach, I think its a danger in clappy circles for everyone else’s opinions to become truth. I now listen to His Spirit and His word only. Legalism, self-righteous people, religious crap… stay away and listen to the Christ of your heart.
